The John Furia Visiting Writers Program
Designed to create a link between students and the Hollywood writing community, our Visiting Writers Program schedules film and television writers to appear at colleges and universities locally and around the world.
The mission of the program is to give students firsthand insights into the craft, careers, and practices of the working writer in Hollywood. Each one-hour Visiting Writers Program session takes the form of a Q&A interview, with the instructor or class asking relevant questions of the writer.
The Writers Guild Foundation can arrange a virtual or in-person visit depending on the school’s location and the speaker’s availability.
The program was established by, and named in honor of, Professor John Furia, Jr.
